Also on this day, a year ago, we were baptized into the church.

New Year 2007

Jacque and I had family prayer together this morning.  All family members have a standing invitation to join us for prayer though most times it is just Jacque and me.

We also had scripture study, today being Matthew 4:1-11 which was about Jesus being tempted by Satan three times. 

Jacque and I also renewed our vows to each other today.  We opened with a prayer, read vows to each other and had Grandma Turner read some vows to us which we agreed upon.  We then said a closing prayer.

To commemorate the ceremony, Jacque and I planted a papaya tree and an avocado tree in our lower yard in the far corner bordering the Mizuno property.  We pray that the nourishment and growth of these trees be steady and strong while our marriage our marriage grows steadily and strongly, too.  Amen.
